Can any book really help you in micro stakes limit poker?

[hammerva]

With my bonus points at Full Tilt, I bought Small Stakes Holdem. I also have SuperSystem 2 and Lee Jones book on holdem. And I read and I read and I read and still struggle in micro limits under $1 badly.

Lets be honest, most of these books are based under the idea that "low limit" poker is 4/8 or 3/6 at worst. The normal 3/6 player is nothing like the .25/.50 player. So I guess my question is does these books really help in micro levels.

Does Small Stakes HOld em expect 5 player on the flop when you raise?
Does Small Stakes Hold em expect someone to call your early position raise with J 2 offsuit?

yes I am on tilt and feel that I am the worst poker player ever (seriously down $15 in 4 hours in .25/.50 limit is freaking pathetic) but I am really wonder if these books and magazines are useless at the lowest levels.
